Mousewheel speed

[Dolev]

hi everyone.
I have a normal usb mouse of microsoft and the mouse scrolling speed (Vertical) is slow as hell, really annoying when scrolling is needed in pdfs/websites.
is there a solution to this? in the mouse cpanel there's nothing related to scroll speed.
thanks alot

I don't know about an explicit wheel-speed control that works system-wide, but I do know that on X11 systems, the wheel-up and wheel-down evens are treated simply as two more mouse buttons (buttons 4 and 5, usually.)

In Emacs, I use some custom keystroke mapping in my .emacs file to let me configure the number of lines scrolled by the wheel:

(setq my-wheel-scroll-lines 5)
(defun my-wheel-down()
  "Wheel-down processing.  Scroll up by my-wheel-scroll-lines"
  (interactive)
  (scroll-up my-wheel-scroll-lines))
(defun my-wheel-up()
  "Wheel-up processing.  Scroll down by my-wheel-scroll-lines lines"
  (interactive)
  (scroll-down my-wheel-scroll-lines))

(global-set-key [mouse-4] 'my-wheel-up)
(global-set-key [mouse-5] 'my-wheel-down)

Perhaps this can help you somewhat, or at least give you a pointer for where to search next.
